Even though we won't be tasting desserts other than cake on our planning trip, we are hoping to offer more than just cake at our reception. Our original thought was to offer one of our very favorite Disney desserts: The Pineapple Dole Whip!

It's delicious, and it's one of our favorite things to eat at Disney. (In fact, Mr. Llama bought me an ice cream maker and the Dole mix for Christmas one year. NOM NOM NOM). We loved the idea of having this at our wedding, however, we've been told that they can't recreate it EXACTLY (one person said it's more of a drink than a dessert when they try and recreate it at other venues), and at ~$10 a person, it seemed like a lot of money on something that wasn't perfect. So we scrapped that.

I don't even like carrot cake that much, but this cookie is the BEST! It's another snack we get every time. They're pretty big - we always split one. Apparently, we can order these from the same bakery, so it won't be a question of replicating it, but unfortunately, this is one of those items that they won't price out for us until we know all our selections. So we'll just have to wait and see.

Our final potential dessert (other than cake) that we're looking into are Mickey Premiums:

It's so simple, yet so good. I don't know why they're so delicious, but I swear they are. The chocolate is REALLY good. Maybe I'm just so happy to be at Disney when I'm eating them, but I don't think so...

We've heard through the grapevine that these can be ordered as a 'late night snack' for about $5 a pop. It also sounds as if we'd be charged per ice cream consumed, instead of per person, so even though $5 isn't cheap, I doubt every single person would eat one. Most other desserts/food are price per person.

Now, back to cake!

As much as I adore that first picture of the black and white cake, we had idea that both fits both thematically, and would likely keep costs down. What if we had a cake in the SHAPE of a Mickey Premium bar?

This is actually a picture of a charm, but you get a good idea of what our cake could look like! We want a "bite" taken out of it, so people could tell what it's supposed to be. It would just be the one layer, and the design is so simple, that I can't imagine this would be a very expensive cake, leaving us some budget for the other options.

Now, depending on the costs of the other dessert options, we might still want more than one kind of cake that is cut in the kitchen. Here are the cake flavors we will be tasting in less than 2 weeks:

It will really come down to price, and what they can offer us, but we're crossing out fingers that we'll be able to offer a combination of cake, as well as our Disney favorites.
